Ahoy, gentle readers! I know I’ve been gone an unforgivably long time, and you deserve to know why.
One day about a month ago my computer refused to boot. It seemed to want to start up, but then it was as if it said, “Naw. I’m too tired. It’s been a long six years. I’m taking a break.”
Well fine!
So I packed ‘er up (yes, my computer is female) and took her to my neighbour who just happens to be a computer tech. Unfortunately, he was swamped with work and the days dragged past while I tried to make do with my glacially slow backup computer. After three or so weeks, I couldn’t standi it no more, chuffed on out to Staples and bought me a brand newie. Everything is so nice and shiny and fast. 
But nothing on my new computer is where it was on my old one. So I’m having to learn a new system (Windows 8) and it’s taking some time. They did give me a 30 minute tutorial in the store, but by minute 15 I stared to glaze over, and I’m afraid I didn’t absorb much. But I’m making progress teaching myself and as my friend Martha Stewart would say, “That’s a good thing.”
I do have news fer y’all, but it will have to keep until next time. Being away from the web site so long has meant a ton of spam needs clearing out – to the tune of about 3,000 of the little beggars. That’s going to keep me busy for a spell.
But I promise to come back soon…good Lord willin’.
